Rubin,
I'd like to thank you for the amount of help you've given us. As you already
know, one of the bigger challenges Zbridge faces is getting our name
recognized. With so many brilliant projects coming out of Noisebridge, I was
afraid that ours would get lost in the dust. You personally took it upon
yourself to ensure that this wouldn't be the case, and I thank you for that.
I also appreciate the team environment you have created for us. As you
already know, one of the best ways to bring a group together is to unite
them against a common enemy. You have graciously thrown yourself upon the
sword here – something that few people would choose to do.
Two of our key members will be out for the next couple of weeks. Since you
focused so strongly on teamwork in your message (and your actions), I'm sure
you will agree that it would be better for us to postpone our demo, so that
Zbridge may work as a team on this project. Given your agreeable nature, I'm
sure you will have no problem with this.
Finally, thank you in advance for the influx of gamers and programmers we
will get on Saturday! You are of course welcome to join in the constructive
fun. After all, isn't that what NB is all about?
Aditya Bhargava, Zbridge co-founder
